J. H. Green
NE man who has a firm
faith in the fu t u r e
greatness of Fort
Worth as the metropolis
of the Southwest
is James H. Green,
former credit man and manager for
the Gamer Company, one of the
largest manufacturing and jobbing
houses in Fort Worth. He has taken
up his residence here in the belief
that the Panther City will surpass
all of its rivals in the race for
wealth and population. He has invested
in Fort Worth real estate and
in business, too. James H. Green
is a Texas product. He was born
on a farm in Tarrant County, son
of W. P. Green, who came to Texas
from Mississippi before the Civil
War, and Mrs. J. E. Green, who
came from North Carolina during
the war. He was born October 14,
1880. Until he reached the age of
seventeen, young Green remained
on the farm with his father and
mother. The country schools afforded
him his primary education.
This was tapered off with a course
at the Sam Houston Normal Institute
at Huntsville, Texas. He married
Miss Elizabeth Scherz of San
Angelo, May 28, 1905, and came to
Fort Worth only a short time ago. <
They have two children, a son, James
H., Jr., four years, and a daughter
of a year. Mr. Green is a Democrat,
dyed in the wool; an Odd Fellow
and a Woodman. Work is his
hobby. Recently he became engaged
in insurance and investments and is
making a success in that as in his
earlier ventures.
